Brexit: UK votes to leave EU in historic referendum
#62
It's been laughable watching the London 'Haves' wriggling in salty annoyance
at the outcome of the Brexit vote, but now it seems there may be a way to help
them over the trauma.

What below actually is, maybe better-minds can assist.

'EU negotiators will offer Brits an individual opt-in to remain EU citizens,
chief negotiator confirms'

'Guy Verhofstadt has fast-tracked the plan and will include it in his mandate.
EU negotiators will offer British people the chance to individually opt-in and remain EU citizens as
a proposal in Brexit negotiations, the European Parliament’s chief negotiator has confirmed.

The plan, first revealed in its early stages by The Independent last month, was being considered as
a long-term aim by the European Parliament – but has now been fast-tracked to the negotiating table
by Guy Verhofstadt, who is in charge of thrashing out a post-Brexit deal.

Mr Verhofstadt said the “very important” proposal had “captured the imagination and hopes” of many
British people who wished to retain their rights as EU citizens and would be in his negotiating mandate.

The plan would see Brits offered individual “associate citizenship”, letting them keep free movement to
live and work across the EU, as well as a vote in European Parliament elections.

The proposal could potentially give Brits who live and work across borders a workaround to the
disruption caused by the Leave vote – and young people looking to flee an increasingly isolated
UK greater choice over where to move to.

Depending on the approach taken by EU negotiators, the idea would likely be subject to approval
by the British government.

Mr Verhofstadt is drawing up a report with the European Parliament’s Committee on constitutional
affairs about proposed long-term changes to the EU’s structure.
The plan was originally proposed by liberal MP Charles Goerens for inclusion in the report, but will
now bypass that process and be taken forward independently...'
